Program

Brew is a recurring five-month program starting March 2026 in Berlin for builders and researchers of the open and decentralised internet.

Each edition takes a deep dive into a single theme explored through expert sessions, meetups and shared workspace. For S1 2026, the focus is Privacy Tech.
